Formal education from time immemorial has proved that is non-starter why am saying this is becoz it only promotes mediocrity in the heads of who attains it.A graduate from a college only buys a suit,official marriage,buys a passo,buys a place kumachinjiri. Its done basi…….no extension of knowldge or developmental and sustainable activities to the masses but shares little earned thru salary to a wife and children.
That’s very good initiative
This is a wonderful event at least boys need recognition too, hands up maranatha
